This doesn't even math. Assume 26M on Obamacare (i think it's 24M but let's do easy math). We each get a check for $1,000. Once a year, or once only? My ACA premium is going up $1033 per month.
Cassidy: "The president is proposing that we take the $26b that would be going to insurance companies if we just do an extension and give it directly to the American people in which 100% of the money is used for them to purchase healthcare on their own terms. That makes them an informed consumer."

can someone remind me where the Justice Department sued Texas to block its extreme gerrymander House map that was never approved by voters? www.latimes.com/california/s...

I'm one of the furious, heartsick voters losing affordable care, and I don't know how I'm going to manage the next 18 months. www.thecut.com/article/demo...

And this is for the "well, what could Senate Democrats have done in the minority?" crowd. I'm no expert in the ways of the Senate. But Senator Chris Murphy is.
In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Hey #EnergySky #ClimateSky! Some in Congress want to make a deal on so-called permitting reform for #ActOnClimate and #Energy projects. But we can't trust Trump, who's already canceling clean energy in Blue states. Tell Congress: No deal. We can’t trust Trump. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

love to see @repyassansari.bsky.social fighting HARD. @climatehawksvote.com endorsed her in her primary, and she's turned out to be a total rock star.

clean energy is cheap energy and cheap energy is clean energy.

Clean energy is cheap energy and cheap energy is clean energy, and Americans are super worried about skyrocketing energy costs, and if Democrats want to win LIKE THEY JUST DID IN GEORGIA they will run on this mantra.

Sitting at a local vote center in purple east Ventura County. The only thing on the ballot is #Prop50 and of course I voted YES to fight back against an autocratic corrupt regime. Steady traffic but no lines.

Nice to be quoted in @thenation.com on #Prop50. If -- I should say WHEN -- we win, at approximately 8:01 PM tonight, we can begin the long process of restoring some checks and balances to America. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

wondering if Cal Prop 50 will pass? Most likely yes. Good post with details for the detail oriented.
One week until California's #Prop50 election. Things are looking good! #calipoli #capoli

Per data from PDI, 51% of the 4.4M mail ballots received so far have come from Dems & D return rate is higher than R.

For comparison, in 2024, 49% of ballots before E-Day were Dem. Harris won CA by 20%. (1/4)
